Dan: Let's go to the ring for what should be a great semi-final contest between Steven Dunne and Devon Burke! (DING DING DING) Andy Burton: The following contest is a semi-final matchup in the Inoki Cup Tournament. It is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first....... ("Walk" by Pantera plays in the background) Andy: He is a member of the stable The Demonweb, accompanied to the ring by his manager, Christina O, his tag team partner, Danny Moore, and the infamous Mr Y, from Detroit, Michigan, weighing 270 pounds, here is "Sadistic" STEVE DUNNE! Dan: Here comes Steve Dunne making his way down the aisle with his Demonweb entourage. Dunne was victorious against Brian Walters at the opening of this card. But Devon Burke is going to be a tough challenge! Andru: However, Dunne has The Demonweb with him, and you can expect that they will play a roll in this contest. Dan: Very true! Dunne climbing into the ring and he looks very intense as he prepares for this contest. Andy: And his opponent, from Tucson, Arizona, weighing 242 pounds, here is "Big D" DEVON BURKE!!! Dan: Devon Burke slowly making his way towards the ring. He fought a tough match with Alex Raptor and despite the fact that Dunne is part of a tag team, Steve Dunne isn't no pushover! Andru: Plus Dunne is a little bigger and a little stronger, and that's most certainly going to help him in this contest! Dan: Devon Burke climbing into the ring and he looks ready as referee Ramon De La Cerveza is ready to officiate this match. The bell rings and Dunne and Burke immediately locking up! Dunne with the quick headbutt catching Big D in the head. Dunne with the elbow to the back of Burke. He sets him up and DDT to the mat! And here's the cover, Dunne pulling the tights.....one................two..............three!!!!! NO! And we almost had a major upset right there Andru! Andru: Major upset? I doubt that! Steve Dunne is a acomplished singles wrestler! Personally, I think he's got the skills to take this entire tournament! Dan: Dunne without question a good wrestler. Both athletes up and they lock up again. Dunne wrapping his leg behind Burke's knee and he shoves him backwards knocking him to the mat! Dunne kicking Burke continously and now he backs off giving Burke room to recover! Andru: Not a smart move by Dunne! He shouldn't let up on Devon. Dan: Burke up again and now both men ready to lock up! They lock up and Dunne just breaking the hold and backing off! And Devon Burke obviously very frustrated by the actions of Steve Dunne and he charges towards him but Dunne with the knee to the stomach! Burke bending over in pain and Dunne with the rake to the eyes of Burke. He lifts him up and INVERTED ATOMIC DROP TO THE GROIN! And Devon Burke in serious pain as Dunne just drops him to the mat. Andru: Now that's smart wrestling! Burke is going to be feeling the effects of that move for the rest of the night! Dan: Right on that one! Dunne with the cover.........one.........two......NO! Devon Burke able to kick out of that one! Dunne back to his feet and he picks Burke up from the mat. Dunne with the push to the corner. He charges towards him and Burke moves out of the way and Dunne goes crashing into the turnbuckle. Burke going after him right away and he slaps on a wristlock. Dunne trying to break out of the move, and fortunately for him he's near the ropes and he immediately goes for the ropes to break the hold. Andru: Always know where you are at in that wrestling ring. You will benefit from it in the longrun. Believe me, all great wrestlers abide by that principle. And believe me, "The Franchise" is the greatest of them all! Dan: Burke going over to Dunne and Dunne with the thumb to the eye! Referee Ramon De La Cerveza giving Dunne the warning, but I don't think he's all that concerned. Dunne taking the weary Burke over to the apron and he goes to bang his head on the apron and BLOCKED by Devon Burke. Now Burke taking Dunne's head and BOO-YA! Right into the apron! And Burke with a forearm to the back of Dunne. Burke behind Dunne and he slaps on an adominal stretch. Burke working on the back of Dunne but once again, he's too close to the ropes and Steve Dunne able to reach the ropes forcing Devon to break the hold. Andru: I think Steve Dunne has done his homework tonight! He knows that Devon wants to wrestle, and Steve Dunne is refusing to wrestle! This is really going to work to Dunne's advantage! Dan: That certainily seems to be the case as Dunne now has Burke up against the apron and he's chocking the life out of him! Cerveza giving the count and Dunne releasing at four. Dunne back to the choke and Cerveza once again with the count. Dunne releasing the choke at four. He's manipulating every rule to his advantage. Andru: Look at all the champions in this league. Kyle Bane, Mista Smith, Troy Walcott, The Perfectly Perfect Duo, The Asian Assassinaton Squad. Each and every one of these competitiors manipulate the rules to their advantage. That is why they are the champions to this day! Dan: You got a good point there! Dunne picking him up and BIG BACKDROP by Steve Dunne! And Burke to the outside of the ring and that is NOT the place he wants to be! Andru: Especially with the Demonweb out there! Dan: Steve Dunne complaing about something to the referee and Ramon's back is turned! Mr Y with that bucket of water and BURKE BLOCKS IT! Burke taking the bucket of water and SLAMS IT ACROSS THE HEAD OF MR Y! But Danny Moore from behind and nails him with the clothesline! Dunne now climbing to the outside of the ring. Dunne has really controled this match thus far! Dunne picking up the fallen Burke and irish whip to the steel steps and REVERSAL BY BURKE! And Steve Dunne goes crashing into the steel steps! Great observation by Devon as he rolls back into the ring and tries to regain his wind. Andru: That should buy him a little time! Of course, "The Franchise" wouldn't even need that! Dan: Man, you're almost as bad as The Stone! Andru: Don't you dare compare me to that idiot! THE FRANCHISE could whip THE STONE any day of the week! Twice on Sunday! Dan: The Demonweb helping Dunne to his feet and they roll him back into the ring. Dunne and Burke both getting to their feet. Dunne grabbing Burke and he's setting him up for the spinebuster suplex and BURKE BLOCKS IT! Burke blocking the attempt and now Burke lifts him up in the air and BACKBREAKER by Burke! Burke with the cover...........one.............two.......... THREE! NO! Dunne able to kick out! Dunne back to his feet and here comes Burke and BOO-YA! Spinning heel kick knocks the big man off his feet! Devon Burke grabbing him and he pulls him to his feet. Burke picking up the big man and PILEDRIVER BY BURKE! And Burke is coming on strong right about now! Andru: Yeah, but he's not aggressive enough! That's the problem with these goody-two-shoes! They are too afraid to put their opponent away in pure "Franchise" style! Dan: Whatever! Burke in full control and now he sends Dunne flying into the ropes! Burke coming in for the big splash and DUNNE MOVES!!! Dunne moves out of the way and Burke goes crashing into the mat! Dunne from behind with the roll- up..............one.............two........... THREE! NO!!!! How did Burke kick out of that one? Dunne obviously frustrated and he's arguing with Referee Ramon De La Cerveza. Not a very smart move by Dunne as he's taking his focus off his opponent! Andru: And that's a move that has cost many a man the match in this sport! Dan: And Dunne doesn't see Devon Burke getting to his feet! Dunne still arguing with the ref and Burke comes from behind and SUN DEVIL STINGER!!!! Burke coming up from behind and nailing him with that inverted DDT and now he hooks the leg for the cover.............one.............two.......... THREE!!!! Devon Burke is going to the finals!!! (DING DING DING) Andy Burton: Here is your winner......"Big D" DEVON BURKE!!! Dan: Devon Burke getting the win over Steve Dunne! But Steve Dunne showed the entire world tonight that he is not only a tag team wrestler, but an acomplished singles wrestler! Andru: He took Burke to the limit tonight! And if he was as smart as "The Franchise" he would probably be holding the Inoki Cup at the conclusion of this event! Dan: And Dunne is furious as he walks over to Devon Burke! Dunne all up in the face of Burke and the two staring each other down and.... Steve Dunne: We ain't finished. You and Me, we ain't done! Dan: Woah! And Dunne shoves Burke aside and exits the ring disgusted! I don't think we've seen the last of these two going at it!
